The Arizona Coyotes need a win in order to snap a seven-game losing streak. The Arizona Coyotes are averaging 2.6 goals per game and are scoring on 18.3 percent of their power plays. Shane Doan leads Arizona with 23 goals, Oliver Ekman-Larsson has 29 assists and Max Domi has 117 shots on goal. Defensively, the Arizona Coyotes are allowing 3.2 goals per game and are killing 77.3 percent of their power play chances. Louis Domingue has allowed 81 goals on 891 shots faced and Anders Lindback has given up 47 goals on 443 shots. Lindback has allowed six goals in his last three games.

The Panthers are 3-7 in their last 10 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. The Coyotes are 21-45 in their last 66 games playing on 1 days rest and 5-17 in their last 22 overall. The Panthers are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Arizona.

The Panthers need a win to kind of get back on track, and the Coyotes are the perfect team to beat up on. Can't back a team that's lost seven straight. Give me the better team on the road at the decent price.
